Developer Resources: SDKs and APIs
Easily integrate our advanced authentication services into your applications with our flexible APIs and developer-friendly SDKs. Whether you're building from scratch or enhancing existing systems, our tools simplify the integration process.
Open APIs ensure seamless integration
Our open API architecture allows for tight integration with all of the leading mobile device management (MDM), identity and access management (IAM) and public key infrastructure (PKI) vendors. This enables our authentication platforms to work seamlessly with new and existing enterprise implementations.
Complete SDKs simplify development
Our easy-to-use software development kits (SDKs) help organizations transparently embed trusted identities into existing applications. Embedding our authentication technology in your enterprise’s apps ensures strong security as well as frictionless user experiences.
What we offer: connections and application integration
Simple Integration
Easy integration to your enterprise and cloud IT framework (applications, VPN, networks, and directories).
Backwards Compatibility
You can leverage all legacy integrations along with the new ones (EMM, CA Siteminder, Oracle AM).
Plug and Play Options
We have a catalog of pre-built connectors and workflow-driven configurations.
Service Gateway
A hardened appliance with virtually zero-touch setup that provides a secure connection to your enterprise.
Platform Integrations
Our authentication platform offers pre-built integrations with a majority of leading on-premises and cloud applications. We also integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, allowing you to leverage existing directories — such as AD or LDAP — to build a central repository for user identities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SDK?
A software development kit is a collection of tools, libraries, documentation, APIs, and code samples that developers use to create applications for specific platforms or services. SDKs simplify the development process by providing pre-built functionalities and components, allowing them to integrate complex features without building them from scratch.
For example, enterprises can leverage our SDKs to integrate the Entrust Identity portfolio with their applications, ensuring secure and consistent access through strong authentication.
What is an API?
An application programming interface is a set of protocols, routines, and tools that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs define the methods and data structures that developers can use to interact with a software component, service, or external system.
With our Entrust Identity APIs, enterprises can easily connect their applications to our identity management system, enabling secure user authentication, authorization, and access control across various platforms.
How do they work?
SDKs and APIs work together to facilitate software development and integration. An SDK provides the necessary tools and libraries to build applications, while an API defines how these applications interact with other software components or services.
For faster implementation, leverage our low-code/no-code orchestration capabilities, which allow you to design and deploy authentication workflows with minimal coding. this feature empowers both developers and non-technical tams to configure secure, adaptive authentication without deep programming expertise, speeding up time-to-market and reducing development effort.
SDKs
Once the SDK is downloaded and installed, developers can leverage the integrated development environment to begin coding. The SDK offers access to necessary APIs and other development tools within this space, enabling developers to build custom applications. By following the provided instructions and utilizing the included testing tools, teams can quickly integrate complex features and ensure their application works seamlessly, giving them a substantial head-start in the development process.
APIs
APIs function as intermediaries between software applications. By defining a set of rules and protocols, they allow developers to send requests and receive responses from external services or systems. When an application makes an API call, it accesses the specified functions or data from another application, service, or database. This process allows for seamless integration and functionality across various platforms, enabling developers to enhance their applications with external capabilities, such as authentication and identity management.
